Thats their hopes i think. Convenience and what people are willing to sacrifice for it.

As much as the clubs may have fetched more than what you'd get on ebay, Was it anywhere near double what you'd expect? Would be intrigued to know the "savings" some people think they have made, as i reckon most could sell on ebay and then buy elsewhere for the same or better. But that takes time which not all people have. Working nights i rarely impulse buy anything so can't rmemener the last time i bought something off the shelf without knowing it was the best price.



Well, anybody that knows me can vouch, I know eBay and club values
I traded a set of Cleveland cg7 tour black pear, 4-pw
Double value trade in was £175
Way more than I'd have got selling, further proved tonight by a set selling on eBay for pennies over £60

Also, a pretty poor condition set of mizuno mp-53, 3-pw, trade in price was £280

Not saying all trade in prices are that "great", and as you stated, certain brands hold poor trade in value, even at double

But I'm happy so far :thup:

they are also stealing a lot of business off pro shops. My mate is head pro at a course near me .. could do me a SM6 vokey for £78 I found AFTER buying one off ebay.. annoying lol but he said he could do the irons for less than AG but couldnt match the trade in.. would have been £80 out of pocket so went with AG

Thats just business unfortunately, like i said. Some people will get a good bargain out of it. I just think most could get the same new set for a similar or better profit margin if looking around.

The cleveland would be worth £230 if the double deal was honoured and not manipulated with a dodgy exchange rate.....

But if you're happy, that's all that matters.

This isnt an AG witch hunt by me, just having looked into a few of the offers put to me, with the handcuffs of overpriced stock meant that it looks like the offer isnt a good as first meets the eye.

Happy for anyione who does well out of it, including the company. Its their busniness after all

How come I cant get a value of a wedge of that pga value site? Any ideas??

Been offered $36 on an old putter, will that equate to around £50 trade in?

So my Rocketbladez tours that I'm looking to move on are showing at $168, what will they be worth at AG £250?

Hmm only thing I need is maybe a new hybrid, what do you would be my best option for trading something in? Big Bertha driver used quite a lot or really old set of Mizuno irons?

I got offered £180 for my 8 year old well used mp 57s from AG on their double value trade in offer. Would have maybe got 40 or 50 quid if I was lucky on ebay if I could have been bothered to advertise them. They were sitting in my understairs cupboard for a good few years gathering dust and probably would ended up giving away or chucking. So £180 got me cracking Odyssey works 2 ball fang putter with supersoft grip for 180. did not cost me a penny.

Does anybody know if you can use this offer in conjunction with price match guarantee- For example they have the 917 at £449 but can get for £399 elsewhere? I could get £200 for my 915 with the double value so it's tempting

Hello everyone
Sorry to intervene
Reading some of the comments re this deal and the variable understanding of the offer thought it might be helpful to confirm.

Our pricematch policy remains in place and if we are honouring a legitimate price match as per our policy then you can also avail of the double trade-in on the same transaction.
If you feel that has not been made clear in store then please send me a private message on here and I will look into that for you.

Thanks for reading

Nice one Elliot :thup:
Thanks for clearing that up.

I've used 2 stores in the north east and had no problem getting price match and double trade, yet it's clear others are having less luck
Hopefully they now have recourse......

Well that was a fruitful trip, they gave me £128 for some Mizuno MX23 irons I bought for £40 last year. Ended up with a Titleist 816 H1 21 deg hybrid and just paid the extra £51.
